Glucose test

Anyone opt out of this stupid test. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I barley made it through the first time. I don't do needles and I will puke again if I try and do this test. The test also made me super sick after. Or is there another way to take this test without the nasty drink

Yup! I told them I wouldn't be doing it and they were fine with that but did run bloodwork on me to check my sugar levels instead of the drink.

Yep I had the option to do jellybeans instead of the drink or to track my blood sugar with a glucose monitor several times a day for a week

@Jacy this is so good to know for the future!

I never knew you could opt out, I ate that poison.. enough to spike my sugar. They give u this high caloric sugar syrup to poison us instead of bloodwork but like seriously high dose of sugar in one shot and they don't tell u to opt out. I refused she had a meltdown... she lik OK...u wanna do bloodwork? But u can't take it? Just drink it... no? Just drink it m. Lik wth youu drink it. I don't drink cola soda , I'll have dessert but seriously? Midwife had a meltdown after I told her no. Jelly beans.. gross. More sugar. I don't eat or like candy. But even if I told my doctor no, I'm sure she have meltdown too..after having her twice ,I ran to midwife.
